Alabamians have so far given the edge to Republicans in the contests for president, chief justice and Public Service Commission president, according to a new Alabama State University poll, but those who conducted the poll say the chief justice race may still be competitive.

"That's the only race that could surprise everybody," said Myles Mayberry of ASU's Center for Leadership and Public Policy, which conducted the poll from Sept. 24 to Oct. 31. The survey of 429 registered voters has a confidence interval of plus or minus 4.7 percent.
